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.
