"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 didn't have to call her driver when she left Mei Mei's apartment, for he was already waiting for her downstairs.

"Here." She handed him her phone again. She got the address of the publishing company of Bella from Haru, but it was Mei Mei who told her that Bella was at the company right now. Some secretary that was working in the said publishing company told Mei Mei that Hideaki booked an appointment for Bella to meet the department head of the contemporary romance department.

It was a good thing that Mei Mei told her about the current whereabouts of Bella because if not, she would go to the apartment to meet her.

"It would take about twenty minutes give or take with the current traffic, miss."
