"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

He said with an unexplainable expression on his face. Laurie wasn't sure if he truly wanted to let go of the topic of her exes. She doesn't understand why Jiro would find it a matter of importance.

'Andrei?' That was the biggest joke if he's jealous of Andrei. And if he is, does it mean that he has some interest in her more than just getting to know her or hanging out with her- being friends.

Being friends was the last thing Laurie wanted from Jiro, so the thought of him being jealous of Andrei makes her happy.

"If you are going to ask a question, should you hear the answer to the question?"

Jiro watched her curled up on the inside of his arm. The sofa was big enough for six people but Laurie was sitting so close to him, he could smell the faint scent of her shampoo.

It wasn't Laurie's own accord. He offered his arm to her. He was the one who asked her to sit down right next to him.

It Won't Happen Again
