Chapter 153: She’s My Type
At Lancaster Ancestral Mansion
Rock sat outside, enjoying the cool autumn breeze, while Ben carefully shaved the remaining hairs on his head. He had finally decided to go through with it, tired of noticing the gradual thinning and hair loss. It was better to embrace the change before his sons pointed it out.
"What the—?!" William’s voice broke through the quiet as he walked up, fresh from the pool, his eyes wide with shock. "Dad! What are you doing?!"
Rock glanced up calmly, then scolded, "Watch your language, son."
William quickly apologized but still looked baffled. "Seriously, why are you shaving your head?"
Rock grinned at him. "Well, I was losing hair, and I figured it was better to shave it all off before you boys started teasing me. Don’t I look younger, more handsome, and manly? Just like when I first joined the military?"
William studied him closely, then shrugged. "I mean, I guess... but I preferred when you had hair. Although, the shaved look isn’t bad. Now you look like my oldest brother!"
Rock laughed, feeling satisfied with his decision. "Exactly! And I’ve got these white hairs creeping in. I’m not about to start dyeing it, and I’m sure not letting it show. A clean-shaven head is the way to go!"
William watched as Ben finished the final touches, shaving off the last bit of hair from Rock’s head. When Ben stepped back, Rock grinned, running a hand over his smooth scalp. "Well, what do you think? Not bad, right? I look way younger!" he said enthusiastically.
