When he saw this precious wooden box, Cullen could not hide his excitement.
He took the box with both hands and sized it up.
Then he nodded with satisfaction and quickly put it into his pocket!
Anna asked doubtfully, "Cullen, you gave me this box before you disappeared. You asked me to take good care of it. What is it used for? It seems so important to you!"
Cullen shook his head. "Nothing. It is just an old thing of mine that I treasure. I am a little tired and want to rest early! You can go with George now!"
Although Anna could see that Cullen was hiding something from her, she did not ask.
After all, with her understanding of Cullen, no one could ask anything from him if he did not want to tell.
Then Anna left.
Cullen stood up!
And he walked into his bedroom.
He came to the phone and dialed a number.
The bell rang for more than twenty seconds.
Someone on the other side of the line answered.
