TO MOVE ON

Ch. 257 / 312 Apr 03, 2026

Pregnant Yuki approached Angela with a bowl of diced carrots in her hand, a look of concern mixed with curiosity on her face. The kids had gone back to their rooms after cleaning the dishes. “So, how did the call with Doris go?” She asked, taking a seat gently with a hand supporting her waist. Angela sighed deeply. “What's wrong, is it that bad?” Yuki replied immediately, worried. “No…no… it's… Well, she said my sister Kerry visited, and she had to tell her everything about our family”. Angela replied and I sighed. “Are you okay with it?” Yuki asked softly. “Since it's just Kerry, I am fine. Actually, I have missed her, and I am sure the girls have too. I wanted to tell her even two years ago, but Doris said I should give it some time. I wonder how she felt after her revelation. She also said that she warned Kerry not to mention it to anyone else, unfortunately Courtney Antonio's cousin has been informed by Kerry”. “What! Why?” “Doris said Kerry has been staying with Antonio's cousin for the past years, and they are now close friends, she assured me that Courtney will keep it a secret. I hope so”. Angela sighed. “I see…. Did she give you Kerry's contact? Or something. I mean, how will you two connect back?” “She gave me Kerry's contact, she said she refused to give Kerry mine. I should call Kerry whenever I feel like it…she told me that ….(Paused) Kerry reacted so heartbroken to Jace's death, she even attempted suicide”. Angela replied, cleaning the drop of tears from her eyes. “Oh Angela”. Yuki said sadly, watching her battle with her emotions. Angela looked up at Yuki. “It was a lot to take in,” she admitted, "but I am glad Doris was able to talk her out of it. She also said….no news about Antonio that his…cousin mourned him a year ago after the search ended…Damon did it…he…. successfully got rid of Antonio and no proof to get him locked up”. Angela pressed her lips. “You… Okay?” Yuki said softly. Angela nodded. “Yeah, I am good. Actually, I'm more than okay”. She chuckled and cleaned her face. “In fact, I'm ready to move on, Yuki… I need to get out of my shell, like you said back then at the club”. She announced with a broad smile. Yuki dropped her fork with a piece of carrot cube hanging on it, her expression turned to one of delighted surprise. “Really? Are you just pulling my leg?” Angela shook her head. “No, I am serious, Yuki”. Yuki was still in doubt just an hour ago, she was grieving and crying about not being able to get over Antonio. However, this is what she wanted for her to move on. She better not discourage her with her questions. “That's wonderful! I'm so happy to hear that, honey.” Yuki snapped, her smile beaming. “You deserve to find happiness and love again. And I know just how we're going to do it.” Yuki said excitedly and held up her phone. “There’s this trendy legit dating app. It will help you find someone who's perfect for you. Men from all races are in this app. We'll swipe through all these profiles, and when we find someone who seems like a good match. I'll send him a message.” Angela sighed. “A dating app? Really? I don't know…isn't it dangerous?” "Oh please, Angela, stop being a grandma. Dating app is not as weird as you think it to be. Trust me, this will be fun.” Yuki said, her excitement infectious. “Alright, let's give it a try”. Angela said. “Now you are talking”. Yuki replied and adjusted closer to Angela so she could see her phone and look for a match with her. “I am nervous”. Angela chuckled, her heart racing at the prospect of a new romance. “It's been 5 years, honey. It’s understandable and completely normal”. Yuki smiled at her, then switched back to detective mood. “Now, let's see what we've got,” she said, her fingers already dancing across the screen. “Here's one, he's a lawyer who likes sushi. Too boring?” “Definitely,” Angela replied, already shaking her head. “Next one, he's a professional skateboarder that enjoys poetry,” Yuki read, raising an eyebrow. "A bit too much? What do you think, honey?” She turned to Angela. “Yeah, I don't think I could handle that level of cool,” Angela said with a laugh. “Alright, here's a Japanese guy who's an amateur chef and loves to travel. Could be a winner,” Yuki said with a wink. Angela went through the profile, a small smile playing on her lips. “He's cute,” she admitted. “But I don't know if I'm ready for a man who loves to travel. I think I'd like to stay put for a while, focus on the kids, you know.” Yuki nodded in understanding. "That's thoughtful. How about this gentleman, he's a veterinarian who likes movies?” “A veterinarian? That's definitely different,” Angela said, considering the profile picture. “But he seems like a tough guy.” “I thought you love tough men? Doris said your Antonio was a tough guy”. Yuki teased her. “No, I don't like tough guys!” Angela snapped. “Yeah, yeah, very convincing when you had a kid for one”. “Antonio may be tough in some areas, but he doesn't look like it”. Angela defended. “I have seen him only in the magazines and screens. I think you are right, he does seem like a combination of dangerous and Angelic at first sight”. Yuki replied. Suddenly, she let out a sharp wince cry. “Are you okay?” Angela asked concerned. “Yeah, the baby just kicked”. Yuki replied and rubbed her belly. “Oh…”. Angela smiled. “I can't wait to give birth to this troublesome unicorn and go on a vacation, leaving her with her daddy!’ she shouted angrily at her tummy as if the baby could actually hear her. “You deserve a vacation honey, but I feel sorry for your husband Chika. He is already going crazy having to deal with just Gojo for three days”. Angela laughed. “He is not ready for the storm to come! This girl will be a hell of work. Now back to our match making”. Yuki cleared her throat. “Okay, how about this guy? He's an American personal trainer, who enjoys rock climbing and outdoor adventures. Maybe a bit of a daredevil?” Angela laughed, imagining herself on a rock climbing expedition. “I'm not sure that I'd survive a date with him. My fear of heights and not a risk-taker”. Yuki was glad she was starting to loosen up. “Oh my god,” Yuk suddenly exclaimed, her eyes wide. “Look at this guy!” Angela looked at the profile with interest. “Look at those deep hazel eyes, the chiseled jawline, the perfectly dark hair and the unique handsomeness, doesn't he remind you of someone.” Yuki nudged Angela. Angela was quiet for a moment, a small smile spreading across her face. Y uki couldn't help but grin at Angela. “Come on, I know he reminds you of someone! Well, what do you think? Are you ready to take a chance on love again?" she asked, her voice teasing.
