Chapter 338 The Calamity

• Maria wasn't entirely familiar with matters between men and women. While she understood certain things were bound to happen, she wasn't mentally prepared, nor did she know how to face them. After all, she and Sebastian technically sneaked around, keeping their relationship a secret, especially from her disciple. The thought that Isabella might hate her in the future weighed heavily on her mind, leaving her conflicted.
• Seeing the sudden change in her expression—from shy embarrassment to quiet contemplation—Sebastian instantly guessed what she was thinking.
• "Maria, I only wanted to squeeze a bit. They were pressing against me so hard just now it was uncomfortable." He grinned mischievously, trying to steer her away from those tangled thoughts, even though he himself was also caught in emotional turmoil.
