"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 chuckled wryly when she looked at the photos on Mei Mei's phone. Seeing those pictures that were clearly taken by paparazzi, she could clearly imagine how Mei Mei's circle of so-called social friends were having a feast on such juicy scandal.

She felt a tinge of pity for Mei Mei who has to live with those kinds of people. Because, for her, she doesn't care. Yes, she won't deny the fact that she was somehow hurt and yes...maybe a little jealous but to give actual care about those malicious gossips, floating around is not something she will bother herself with.

But then, she didn't interact with those women who like these kinds of stories. While Mei Mei has to forge a good relationship with them because they all moved around the same circle.

She put down Mei Mei's phone on the table and pushed it back to her. "I don't need to explain myself about these photos. Thanks for telling me but I am fine."
