"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

"The party is waiting, so is your mother."

Laurie's jaw dropped and unconsciously gripped Jiro's elbow. "My mother is here?"

Madame Bae roared in laughter when Laurie asked in a small voice, clearly scared with the idea that her mother is here as well as Jiro.

"No, dear. What I mean is…your mother is waiting for this moment." She smirked. Amusement is dancing in her eyes that she scared Laurie out of her wits.

She charged forward and hit Madame Bae's shoulder. "You damn witch! You almost gave me a heart attack!"

She laughed out loud as she walked backward, shielding herself from Laurie's assault. "It was the truth. It's not my problem that you think otherwise."
