I would suggest posting your question on the deLighted support forum, but it doesn’t look like the theme developer is very responsive to questions. There was an identical question asked a week ago on that forum that hasn’t been answered yet. It could be that the theme doesn’t support full posts on it’s blog page. I tried installing the theme and changing the setting under Settings > Reading > Full Text and nothing changed.
What you can do to show more text on your excerpts, though, is to insert the more tag in your posts where you want the excerpt to end. For example:
Paragraph 1 blah blah blah ....
Paragraph 2 blah blah blah ....
<!--more-->
Paragraph 3 blah blah blah ...
So everything up through Paragraph 2 will be displayed as the excerpt (and the more tag won’t be displayed on the post page). You just have to remember to use the Text editor, instead of the Visual editor, when inserting the more tag.

Thank you CrouchingBruin for your replay. I did as you and checked if it would work the easy way (Settings > Reading > Full Text) – but of course it didn’t.
However, I later found a solution for this problem:
Find the content.php file in your theme editor and locate the following text:
<div class="entry-content">
<?php delighted_the_excerpt( get_the_ID(), true, apply_filters( 'delighted_excerpt_length', 25 ) ); ?>
Change it to:
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content( get_the_ID(), true, apply_filters( 'delighted_excerpt_length', 25 ) ); ?>
Summary: change the “delighted_the_excerpt” to “the_content”
Hope this helps any other people that might have the same problem as I did.
