"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 was fighting the tears that were about to fall any minute by thinking of some shitty memes she could remember. Jiro stood up abruptly when she blurted out 'I love you' and he hasn't come back. She was too stunned that she didn't bother to follow him with her gaze when he left.

She looked down when she saw the waiter approaching their table. Jiro had asked for their bill for they were about to leave but now he left her alone. She bit her lower lip to stifle a sob. "Here you go," she mumbled as she gave the waiter a one thousand yen and got up.

She heard the waiter calling after her for her change but she ignored him and briskly walked out. She dialed her phone, calling her driver. She needed to get away from here—fast! She then dialed the number of Madame Bae's pilot to tell him that she's ready to leave.
