Chapter 565 - Reunited

J still can't believe it while she is running her fingers around the car as she walks around it and checking out every detail of it.

The last time she saw this car, it was totally wrecked. No one would think that it was the same car. But then she thought, is it? "Is it a new car?" J asked.

"Well, after the accident, the insurance company determined it as a total loss. Although they had already paid us the total cash value of the car, your husband helped us decide to keep the car." Buck said then he looked at Jacob.

"Then?" J asked confused. Jacob already bought two new race cars although its price cost more than what they will be receiving from the insurance company. Jacob said that the amount doesn't matter as long as she will be safe.

"The money we got from the insurance company is what we used to repair this car." Buck continued.

"The car is repairable but the cost is a big one. In fact, more than what the car is worth. But still, your husband insisted that we repair it and return it to its original state. We used some parts of the car that can be salvaged, while the other parts were new. But still, it is the same car."

J nodded her head in understanding. She is feeling a bit emotional being reunited again with her first-ever race car.

"But..." Buck paused when he saw J's reaction turned a bit sour. "Although it runs and is in good condition now. I am not sure if it will pass the inspection if you are going to use this for a race."

J become a bit sad but she had already expected this outcome. Of course, she cannot ask for more.

She looked at Jacob, then to Buck. "Can you leave us alone for a moment, please?" She said then Buck looked at Jacob and nods his head before he left.

"Jacob..." J started but before she could say anything, Jacob beats her into it.

"Honey, I know what you are thinking, but please hear me out first."

J crossed her arms in front of her chest and leans in the car's body. She waited for Jacob's words.

Jacob takes a step closer in front of her. "I know how sentimental you are. This car is important to you. It has been part of your life. But, because of me, you had that accident and this car was wrecked. You probably didn't know how guilty I was."

"So I had Buck take this car here and have it repaired at whatever cost as long as it will be returned to its original condition. Although you can still drive it in a track, unfortunately, you cannot use this in a race."

J was rendered speechless. So, he was still blaming himself for that accident until now?

She straightened up her body and reached out to put her hands into Jacob's face. "Thank you for this. I really appreciate this." J said emotionally. "I'm sorry, it was just. You've spent a huge amount of money for these cars." J pointed at the three cars.

"It's nothing, sweetheart. Your safety, your happiness is my priority." Jacob said as he reached out for J's hand and bring it to his lips.

"Oh my God! Jacob, you are too good." J cannot find anything else to say.

Jacob chuckled and pulled her closer to his body. "I know."

J wrapped her arms around Jacob's waist and snuggled deep into his chest. "Gosh! Three race cars." She still can't get over it.

Although the insurance company did pay them. The amount is just enough for one car. But Jacob bought two cars instead. And the repair cost of her previous car is overwhelming, it cost more than it's value.

So it is more than just three race cars.

"Don't dwell too much on the cost, okay?" Jacob put his hands on J's shoulder. "So, what do you plan for this?" Jacob said as he looked at J.

J was glad that the car has returned to its good condition but unfortunately she cannot compete in a race with it.

"Can I drive it in the streets?" She asked with a goofy smile.

Jacob laughed. "You know that's illegal." They were talking about a race car, not a streetcar. And driving a race car on the streets is illegal.

"Ha-ha. I know. That's just wishful thinking."
