The coconut juice from Evergreen Peak was famous. It was even available in Simeria.

Heather often drank it, claiming it was excellent for the skin.

"It's so fresh and has a subtle taste," Natalie remarked.

"Authentic juices tend to be like that," Clyde said.

Natalie nodded. "Yes, it's very nice."

The taste was indeed pleasant, something she had grown accustomed to. She used to dislike coconut juice for its thick, cloying taste, but this one had a refreshing sweetness. It was the taste of nature.

Not far away, Cedric and Irwin stood on a wooden platform, watching the bonfire party in the square.

Irwin asked, "Are you leaving now?"

Cedric nodded. "Yes, I'll go ahead."

Irwin hesitated, feeling a tightness in his chest.

"Why aren't you over there?" Cedric inquired.

"Clyde is there. Also, she's likely happier without my presence."

As he said this, Irwin's voice carried endless bitterness.

Cedric said he felt trapped and that there was no way out for him and Natalie.

What about Irwin?

Wasn't he in the same situation?

Natalie's indifference towards him was obvious, and her aversion to his presence sent shivers down his spine.

"At least she has the Jarvis family behind her." Cedric sighed.

Irwin agreed. "Yes, thankfully."

At least there was the Jarvis family.

Cedric recalled their previous life when she was in the darkness...

Even though she didn't have anything, she still boldly demanded a divorce. Even though she knew she would suffer if she left his side, she did it without hesitation. Natalie's actions showed how strong her principles were.

Once hurt, she would use all her strength to protect herself, making it impossible for anyone to get close.

Cedric turned away and said solemnly, "Irwin, if there's even a glimmer of hope between us..."
