"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

Mei Mei just pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Laurie.

Haru kicked her legs under the table for her eyebrows were knitted so tightly with how Mei Mei was acting.

Mei Mei probably realized that she was already in a bad mood, so she suddenly changed the topic.

"There are a lot of Korean products that I like that's difficult to get here, can you buy them for me?"

She nodded because she no longer trusts her voice. She was already in the mood to start an argument for anything just to release the annoyance in her chest.

Haru noticed it. That's why she kicked her legs under the table to stop her from opening her mouth. Her words when she's angry can be harshed. Haru knew that from past experience.

She heaved a deep sigh, trying to steady her breathing, and gazed at Haru, giving her a thankful look.
