Lahat ng Kabanata ng We Break Up Over an Ice Cream: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

"Whoa, Noel! Delilah just took a bite of that ice cream, and you don't even mind? You sure dote on her!"I had just returned from the restroom and reached the door of the private room where Delilah and her friends were gathered. I heard everyone inside cheering and making a racket. My whole body went rigid, and through the half-ajar door, I watched my girlfriend, Delilah Stallard, take the half-eaten ice cream back from the lips of her childhood sweetheart, Noel Weston. "We've known each other forever. We even shared a room as kids. What's wrong with sharing some ice cream?" Delilah asked nonchalantly. Noel merely smiled, gazing at Delilah fondly. Their friends talked over one another, flashing the two of them knowing smiles. It felt as though someone had dumped a bucket of ice-cold water over my head, drenching me from head to toe. Just then, Belle Jones, Delilah's best friend, spotted me and hurriedly shot the others a look. That was when everyone finally noticed me. The

No matter how grueling things got, the moment I saw Delilah, I always felt a sense of relief. My heart would fill with sugary sweetness. Fortunately, my hard work finally paid off, and my company had flourished to the point where we were even planning an IPO. Delilah and I had also planned to get married at the end of the year. I thought I had it all—a thriving career and true love. However, reality dealt me a harsh slap in the face. While I was busy planning our future, Delilah started going on business trips every month. I thought she was simply busy with work. However, a year ago, on her birthday, I dropped everything and traveled to her city to surprise her, only to find her with another man, giggling and chatting with him. Unwilling to believe what I'd seen, I had someone look into her travel records.That was when I discovered that every time she went on a business trip, she would go meet up with that man. In fact, there had been several times when her company didn't hav

Noel, however, seemed to have sobered up at that moment. He hastily grasped the doorframe and instinctively shoved Delilah away.Delilah fell hard onto the floor. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she bellowed, "What the hell is wrong with you, Elio Price? How dare you push me?"I gazed at her coldly. For a moment, I wasn't sure if I should laugh at her stupidity or at myself for being so blind. Previously, whenever she teared up, my heart would ache, and I'd hurriedly apologize to her. I was afraid of upsetting her. It filled me with a deep sense of failure, making me feel like I hadn't taken good enough care of her. But now, I realized just how fucking satisfying it felt to shove her. I used to be so damn pathetic. Delilah was the one who was being unreasonable, yet I had been willing to throw away all my dignity just to accommodate and protect her. I wasn't her boyfriend. I was nothing more than an ATM and a glorified servant she could order around at her beck and call.In

I jerked my chin toward Noel. "Get your childhood sweetheart to pay it back. You transferred all my money to him. Since he adores you so much, he wouldn't just sit by and watch you drown, would he?" Delilah shifted her attention toward Noel. The color drained from his face, and he instinctively stepped back. "Delilah, you gave them to me. Besides, you know I just returned to the country." Noel clutched his pocket tightly, a malicious glint flashing through his eyes. It was the first time Delilah had seen such an expression on his face. Surprise flickered in her eyes. Delilah was caught off guard. Then, she bit her lip. "I transferred so much money to you, so you must have some left, right? Can't you give me a little—""What's that supposed to mean, Delilah? Do you think I'm lying to you?" Noel feigned hurt.Delilah hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I mean. I just—" Before she could finish, he cut her off. "Look, I'm so grateful for everything you gave me, but I've a

I glanced at it. It bore the hospital's seal, the doctor's name, and the test results. Her hCG levels were significantly elevated, confirming the pregnancy. "For the sake of our baby, let's get back together, Elio." Her voice was soft and subdued. I had no idea what she'd been through during this time, but she looked like a shell of herself. Delilah used to be so haughty; she had always spoken to me as though she were ordering me around. She never asked for my opinions when she made decisions. She simply told me what she'd already decided.I exhaled slowly before inquiring, "You want to get back together? Then what are you going to do about Noel?" Her eyes darted around. "He'll understand. I'm doing this for my baby. He'll eventually find someone better than me."Besides, while I was with him, I thought I'd be happy, but for some reason, all I could think about was you, Elio. I regret it. I shouldn't have treated you like that in the past."I still have feelings for you. G
