"What the fuck did you send over, Nicky?" Laurie is screaming over the phone at six fucking  o'clock in the morning.

"It has a note. And I believe that the message was clear." the name Nicky answered.

"Well that's exactly, why I am asking!"  she exclaimed angrily, glaring at the innocently looking red leather pill box, that is instantly recognizable as a famous jewelry brand, sitting on her kitchen counter, with a note that says - I heard you cry over a guy, here's a small gift to let you know that I'd marry you anytime.

With the familiar scrawling penmanship in the white piece of paper, she would know who sent her the note, even without calling the guy on the phone.

***
When the guy you confessed to rejected you, and your two exes came back running—declaring they would marry you any time, what would you do?

Would you choose a familiar old love or the one that has your heart but doesn't want you?

And to add to the chaos, her mother is on a mission to marry her nearing thirty-something ass to any man who breathes. 

What should a girl do in such a situation? Run away, of course! 

But then, how far can you run away until all the life's decisions you screwed up in the past caught up with you and you ended up with no choice but to face them. 

Welcome to Laurie’s adventure and just to be clear this is not a love story BUT a quest.

Capture A Husband: My Asian Mother's Quest

She mumbled the man's name as she tried to hear how his name sounded when it rolled in her tongue as she spoke it out loud.

"Yup, that's my name." He chuckled.

Laurie blushed, thinking this man must have thought that she's such a weirdo trying to sound out his name.

"You are here to party or something?" He asked, rolling his hand in the air as if gesturing, partying in this place.

"You paid for my onigiri. I'm too broke to buy myself a drink here."

"You could just say that you want me to buy you a drink," he smirked.

Laurie rolled her tongue inside her cheek. She scoffed, thinking how this man can be so freaking annoying and so -- hot at the same time.

She glanced at the guy and she could clearly see him, taunting her from that sexy smirk of his. Not to include that every time he laughed, the corner of his eyes would crinkle in mischief.

You're Such A Good Girl
