With a disappointed voice, she said, "You don't remember me, do you?" Fortunately, my wife quickly said, "Of course he does, Nicole. He's just very absent-minded." Nicold had been a student of mine years before.
In this paragraph, does "Of course he does." mean that the man remembers the woman? Or does it mean that the man still doesn't remember the woman?
Plus, what does "absent-minded" mean?
Thank you in advance.

It means that he does remember the girl (even though he probably doesn't, in this case). Absent-minded = not thinking clearly, temporarily forgetful. [ I never remember where I put my keys.
