Did the male lead change his ways today?

Dio watched with satisfaction as Joannes' expression changed from doubt to astonishment, and she was completely stunned.

"What are you talking about... Dio! How could Willy have that kind of thought? He cares about me, we are just a good family!"

It's ridiculous, they used to play together when they were kids and Willy would always look at her, but isn't Dio doing the same thing now?Although Dio looked at her with probing and hostile eyes.

Even though Joannes had heard that nobles would intermarry relatives in order to keep their bloodlines pure, she didn't have any thoughts about Cousin Willie at all, and there was only family affection between her and his cousin.

Suddenly being told such a thing, she suddenly felt unacceptable!

"Have you ever thought that his concern for you is for his own purposes? I bet Mr. Carpenter and your aunt are helping him to marry you and inherit everything from the Joestar family. "

"...Why did my aunt treat me like this? My aunt has always been very kind to me since I was a child. She won't let me get hurt. "

Joannes trembled slightly, and tears of anger swirled in her eyes.Her lips were still struggling, but Dio knew she believed him.

Jojo's reaction was very good. Dio's smile grew bigger and bigger. He was rarely gentle and said in a guiding tone in a good mood, "She is not really selfless. If it is to make her arrogant son After marrying you and getting so many things, of course she will treat you very well. Think about it, does she treat you better than her daughter? That's why her daughter's dissatisfaction was aroused, which led to the music festival A near-successful murder. Of course, it's not your fault, you don't need to feel guilty, it's all because of the greed of the Carpenters."

He watched Jojo's silence, and added, "If you don't trust me, you can ask your father if your Aunt Petunia has this plan."

The room became very silent, and Dio knew that he had successfully planted the seeds of doubt in Jojo's heart.

"I see."

Although Joannes had tears in her eyes, she soon calmed down, looked at Dio firmly and seriously and said, "I will confirm with my father, if this is true, then I will stay away from Cousin Willy, and He keeps his distance. Even though I don't understand what 'love' is yet, I'm sure I don't want to kiss Willy... I have to sort this all out so Willy doesn't misunderstand and expect me, which doesn't help either of us fair."

"That's right, Jojo."

Dio made his voice softer, and reminded thoughtfully, "Go and confirm with your father, but he may not be in a good mood now, I suggest you go to him later."

That's right, that's it, he got the result he wanted.Once Jojo realized that her cousin actually wanted to marry her, she would immediately keep her distance from him in fright.He knew that Qiao Qiao hadn't recovered from the blow of losing that kid, Bandrudo. In fact, he had some doubts about whether Jojo really had a special affection for Eli Banduduo.He had been monitoring them during that time, they would play together in the back mountain, go to the market, and even go so far as to play in the stream together...

The thought of Jojo and Eli looking defenseless together made Dio feel a strange anger rise within him.He was so glad he got rid of Errie before things got worse, at least this cousin of JoJo was an idiot who didn't deserve his attention.

"I will, thanks for letting me know that."

Anyway, Joannes politely expressed her thanks to Dio, and before she was about to confirm the matter with her father, she looked at Dio seriously and said, "I want to ask your opinion on one more thing, Dio. "

"It's okay, just tell me." Dio was in a good mood and raised his chin very generously.

"It's thanks to you for saving me. Although you said that this matter can be left for later, I still care about it, so I thought of a proposal. Of course, it's up to you to accept it or not."

"Oh? What?"

Dio was stunned for a moment, he looked at Jojo in surprise, and suddenly became interested in her proposal.

What kind of way will Qiao Qiao think of to repay him?It made him curious, and he decided to sit down and listen.

Joannes swallowed, looked straight at Dio nervously and said, "For example, I can give you half of the pocket money my father gave me every month, until we are adults and independent, what do you think, Dio?"

"........."

Dio was silent for a moment, he knew that he shouldn't expect anything from Jojo's idea!

Who cares about her pocket money?He almost wanted to laugh, and what he wanted was not half of Qiao Qiao's pocket money, but all she had!

But he couldn't help being shaken, because George was a very fair man, he gave Dior the same treatment as his daughter, and their monthly living expenses were the same.If he took half of Jojo's pocket money, it seemed that it would make Jojo's life less affluent...Will she feel uncomfortable because of the shrinking pocket money?

... No, it's still too meaningless, and it's better to put the favor that Qiao Qiao owed him for later.

After quick deliberation, Dio acted very generously, "It's okay, let's put it in the future, I don't need your pocket money, Jojo."

It also made Dio happy to think that Jojo would be tortured for being in debt to him.

"Well, since you insist."

Joannes nodded, not reluctantly.But she decided to buy Dior a present as her own thank you.

Considering that her father was deeply saddened by having to exile Anna, Joannes tactfully did not bother him. She put on her coat, explained to the butler, and left Joestar House.

Dior was in a good mood, really good.

After all, George's house is not like the nouveau riche Carpenter. There are many useful books in the study.Having obtained permission to use the contents as he pleased, he borrowed a book from George to pass the afternoon.If Jojo is not there, the whole house will be quiet, and no one will disturb his reading.But his comfortable time ended before dark, and when he saw Qiao Qiao suddenly appearing in front of him mysteriously, with something hidden behind him, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

"what's up?"

He put the book down, looked up at Joanice and asked.

"I bought you a present in my own name."

Qiao Qiao straightened her chest, cleared her throat and announced.

"……what?"

Dio was a little surprised, but he soon became alert again, "You want to offset the favor you owe me by giving me a gift, it won't work, Jojo."

"No, I didn't mean that." Joannes blushed all of a sudden, and quickly defended herself, "I just want to express my gratitude, and this will not affect our agreement."

"Oh."

So Dio put on airs, "Then tell me what you bought? I don't take everything."

In fact, he doubted Jojo's taste very much. If what Jojo planned to give him was those dolls or glass ball decorations that girls liked, he would never want it.

"I think you should need this more."

Joannes smiled at him, then took out her own gift box from behind, and handed it to Dio.

...is a watch.

Dio's eyes lit up when he saw the brand new dial and strap.It's what he's always wanted, watches are something rich adults can afford, he's been saving his pocket money for the past few months, but he's going to use the money to go to antique shops in London first , bought back the mother's dress that his father forced him to sell, and was far from being able to buy a watch.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Qiao would actually buy this as a gift for him. It was rare for Dio to admit that she had a good eye. She unexpectedly understood what men would like.

"...very good, Jojo."

Rarely, he nodded without hesitation in praise, and took the watch, "I accept it, but it doesn't mean we're even, do you understand?"

"Of course, this is just my personal thanks to you."

Jojo smiled again, and she seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

Even though she declared that she still owed Dior, after making this gift, it was as if for her personally there was an even balance between the two of them.

Dio suddenly felt that the smile was a bit dazzling, and for some reason he also became uneasy.No, he accepted Qiao Qiao's expensive gift, which meant that it would greatly reduce her sense of guilt, and she would feel at ease that she no longer owed him so much.This is not what Dior wants!

But he does need this watch, whether it is in school or after class, he has to keep an eye on the time.Although George said that he and Jojo can go to the department store to choose a gift, he doesn't need to refuse the gift and buy the same one again, which will make George suspect that they are at odds, although it is true.

...so he had to buy Jojo a return gift!

Hell, he's here to create terror and disaster in Jojo's life, not to play house with her and be a good friend!

But he needs to awaken her guilt!Dio was struggling in his heart, and then he couldn't help thinking, what would Jojo like?There's no way he could actually send her a pie like that cousin of JoJo's, other than those sweet tooth pies she's been eating, that would be so stupid!
