"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

"I-I don't know what to say." He looked at her with tears at the corner of his eyes.

"I'm also at fault. My father also has a fault. The only excuse my father had—if I would assume since he's already dead and I'd never know—was, he's dying. I don't know what was your father's excuse and I won't start asking or questioning it. But, right now, I just want quiet in my life. Our family ties are not something I'd like to sever just because of money…" She glanced at Ryu's, "let's pretend it was just money."

Ryu exhaled a deep breath and lowered his head. "I'm sorry, Laurie. I won't dare make an excuse for my sorry-ass brother…but with Mei-chan, please, talk to her. She doesn't know anything about business matters." He smiled shakily at her. "I believe, she honestly wanted you as a real sister."

She's Not Coming Home
