Raymond was initially surprised by Ernest and Irene's change of heart, but he quickly composed himself, saying, "Please, share any conditions you have. I'm committed to accommodating them to the best of my ability."
The news of Ernest and Irene's willingness to accept Asher's presence came as a great relief to Raymond.
Not only would it ease a significant burden, but it would also preempt any concerns about potential adversaries exploiting the situation in the future.
Meanwhile, Luna couldn't shake off a sense of unease. She found herself pondering what sort of conditions these two elders might propose.
Maintaining her composure, Irene directed her attention toward Luna. "I have just one condition," she stated calmly, "and that is for this woman to sever ties with the Shelbert family entirely, ensuring she never comes into contact with Asher again. Only then will I consider accepting Asher."
Upon hearing Irene's ultimatum, Luna felt the blood drain from her face, and she struggled to maintain her composure.
In a flurry of emotions, she protested vehemently, "Absolutely not! I'm Asher's mother! I have every right to remain by his side. Who are you to dictate that I must leave?"
Meanwhile, Raymond lapsed into a profound silence, his contemplation echoing loudly in the room.
Observing the tense exchange, Luna couldn't shake the feeling that something was awry.
Desperately, she grasped Raymond's arm, pleading, "Dad, please remember, I'm Asher's biological mother. He's still adapting to life within the Shelbert family!
"If you insist on pushing me away, it could significantly impact his development and overall well-being, especially in such an unfamiliar environment!
"Surely, you wouldn't want anything to jeopardize Asher's future, would you?"
At that moment, Irene's voice cut through the air like a knife, her words sharp and calculated. "You don't need to concern yourself with Asher. We have arrangements in place to provide him with an outstanding education.
"He will flourish without any complications. Undoubtedly, he'll have a far more promising future growing up, without his biological mother's influence."
"Indeed. Your presence here would only emphasize Asher's dubious legitimacy, especially considering your questionable status as his mother."
"Shut your mouth, you old hag! Who are you to call my son illegitimate? Asher is my flesh and blood. Where I go, he goes. You won't force me out!"

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
I've never encountered a book with over 1,000 chapters. Does the author or platform not use an editor? The writing and grammatical errors are quite frustrating....
Why does it read status ongoing? If it’s ongoing chapter 1187 isn’t the end, I’m confused...
Chapter 1187 is the end? Too soon of a ending if its the ending they just ruined the sorty for me...
It reads 7 chapters per day, yet today only 2...
Patiently waiting for her to realize they belong together...
More chapters please & conclusion in sight?...
Where are the chapters. Very slow. Story is taking too long?...

I am so done with this never ending saga, with too much drama and never resolving any issues, only continuing to add more unresolved issues....
