In my opinion, Max's behavior is downright sexual harassment, but it's never explicitely depicted as such, which feels kinda inconfortable.
Ms Cross repetedly rejects his advances, but he refuses to acknowledge it.
He manipulates her to try and seduce her, he invents pretexts to get invited to her house during the night, repetedly invokes the memory of her dead husband (who died the year before) and he forcibly tries to kiss her. Basically, a lot of emotional blackmail and manipulation.

From both directions: Max is 15 and in love with Miss Cross who must be in her late 20s/early 30s. Herman is also in love with Miss Cross and he is in his late 40s/early 50s.
