There's a difference between being told to learn and proactively wanting to learn.
Mrs. Price is quite a meticulous person, so she needs to understand this clearly.
"Yes," Noah responded, "I'd rather she didn't study! We only have a little time each day, even holding hands feels like a struggle, yet she insists on enrolling in a tutoring class. Mom, you don't know, she's even reciting vocabulary while sitting in my passenger seat."
Mrs. Price burst out laughing, "This shows she's a woman with a plan, unlike you! You just dawdle around all day, doing nothing!"
Looking at his mother's reaction, Noah realized she was very pleased with Delia, his future daughter-in-law.
He was ecstatic.
This meant his choice of girlfriend was an excellent one.
Mrs. Price continued, "I remember your English being quite good too, right? Remember to tutor her properly."
"Yes," Noah nodded, "I understand."
