"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

"What? You don't like it?" She pursed her lips in disappointment. She tried so hard to finish the mural in a short period of time and Jiro just stood there, staring at the wall saying nothing.

"What?! If you don't like it then I'll—uhmp!" She wasn't able to finish her statement because Jiro sealed her lips with a deep kiss.

"I love it…so, so much!" He was grinning from ear to ear, his eyes beaming with happiness. "Thank you!"

"Hey! Wai—wait!" She laughed as Jiro lifted her up from the floor and twirled her around in the recording studio. "I get it. You like the mural. Now put me down! You ass!" Her voice was ringing with laughter, however, instead of listening to her, Jiro did the opposite. Even when she hit his shoulder and pulled his hair, he didn't stop twirling her around the room that she just let him be.

A Successful Surprise
