[His agreeing that she should tell him to mind her own business only cements the idea in her mind that she won't. He's expecting her to do it at some point, and she'll just keep on surprising him by refusing. Her capacity to love and care for someone, even when she really shouldn't, is one of the things that she values about herself.

[This is her, relenting. He's free to actually give her a lesson here.]
