Lesson 133 Will she be coming back?
夜、直樹が正月休みに東京に行き、真理と由美にそれぞれ会った内容を翔に報告しています。
Let’s listen to today’s story.
Naoki: Sho, your mother really appreciated what you did with the costume party.
Sho: So, Will she be coming back?
Naoki: She is writing a travel book with David now. She’s also really enjoying her job at the magazine.
Sho: So, she’s not coming back?
Naoki: She will. Just not now. Mari feels exactly the same way as you. She’s now busy preparing for a group art exhibition in March, but she said she would contact your mother.
Sho: Really?
Naoki: They’re both in Tokyo, after all. Mari also told me you should focus on your exams. Sho, I’ll work on making our family a team again. You work on your exams, OK?
Sho: OK, Dad!
