Capture A Husband: My Asian Mother's Quest

"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. [WARNING: Some chapters may contain mature R-18 content.] --- Book cover by Sendaline_16

"Laurie doesn't need you to break for her. She needs you to be strong for her. Strong enough for her not to feel threatened to show you her sides that she found shameful." 

A lump was caught on Jiro's throat when he heard what the other person said. He recalled some memories in his past when he wasn't strong enough for the person he loved. And now, this stranger who called him out of the blue was saying, he needs to be strong enough for Laurie. 

Insecurities and doubts rose from his core. If he could not do it in the past, how can he be sure that he can do it with Laurie? Or will he be Laurie's downfall too? 

"Rina was just a bad seed. You can't do anything about her." 

The voice from the other line jolted him from his thoughts. "What do you know about Rina?"
